Samantha Jade Nicholls was born on the 12th of August at 26 weeks gestation. A medical miracle some would say. 14 slow, painful weeks in the NICU had passed and Sam was finally ready to come home. She was breathing independently, taking on board just enough of her feeds for her weight and showing real promise. Unfortunately the young infant's biological mother had passed away leaving her orphaned but maybe this was fate. Two doting parents of a five year old boy had been looking to adopt a baby , they were ready and willing to take Sam in with open arms.
Ange Pov
I stood there in amazement. A tingle surged throughout my whole body. It was a rush of excitement I had never felt before in my life. When my eyes hit her angelic little body, they froze and I couldn't think or acknowledge anything else around me. While she slept I stared down at this precious little angel. The world seems to stop, hold its place in time,just for that perfect moment. My hands quivered as I slowly reached down to touch her dainty little fingers and the softness of her skin. I ran the tips of my fingers very gently across her smooth face, and right away, I fell in love. I found myself cradling this small being only moments later, my eyes wide in disbelief that she was actually mine. As I held her, I stared into her gorgeous, deep, blue eyes and knew instantly that I would love and cherish her forever with all my heart.
Alast sam was finally home, safely laid comfortably in her big brother's arms. Although completely unaware of her surroundings she was completely content with a full tummy of milk, a clean nappy and a doting family. Life could not be more perfect.
